We recognize that many visitors come to Jamaica not only to enjoy our beautifully designed buildings , climate and beaches but also our lush mountains, green islandscape and breathtaking scenery . At Tek time we offer all this and more. An unparalleled tropical paradise only a short drive from the most outstanding beaches and resorts in Jamaica, indeed the world.

Jamaican owned and operated, renters directly support the island's economy and the staff who become a part of their family. Supplies are sourced from the best local and overseas disributors . We get fresh fish from the local fisherman right on the beach and the early morning market vendor provides tree ripened fruits. Three nearby supermarkets stock world re-known brands and a Mega-Mart offers larger quantities of products at discounted rates.

Built with sensitivity to the topography, at Tek Time it was decided to do all necessary to preserve the character of the environment in its gardens and outdoor areas.

THE HOUSEThe great house design of the villa preserves the historical framework of the Rose Hall property, one of the most famous in Jamaica’s history. The Rose Hall Great House museum is walking distance away. 'T'ek Time'' in Jamaican patois means 'take your time, slow down, relax, smell the roses, take it easy''.

It took almost two years to complete this labour of love to the owners' satisfaction. No expense was spared in making the property a reflection of everything they love. Tek Time combines the comfort, facilities and privacy of a private villa with the service, management and security of a resort. Accept this as your special invitation to join in this memorable experience.

Each bedroom is a master suite with private balcony or patio all luxuriously furnished and completely equipped. Although the Rose Hall sports some of the finest villas anywhere, some features are found only Tek Time – * A Culligan water treatment system provides tasty drinking water* Automatic swimming pool means the pool is always open, no closure while chemicals are put in. * 24 - hour maid and cook service from our resident staff.

Owner info

Year Purchased: 2011

About the owner: We live in Jamaica and actually got the house built to our specification. Our love of the island, the people and the food made us decide to invest in this villa. When it was completed, we were so pleased we felt it would be selfish not to share the best of Jamaica with others.

Why the Owner Chose Montego Bay: The Rose Hall Elegant Corridor is one of the nicest, safest places in Jamaica. No wonder the Ritz Carlton, the Hilton, Half Moon Hotel and other fine hotels are located here. We discovered villas many years ago and for a group of friends or family, there is no other way to go. As the slogan says 'Once you go, you know'.

The Unique Benefits at this Villa: The unique benefits of Tek Time Villa is all about taking the villa concept to the next level. We had stayed at villas before and wanted one that had a lot of lawn space for play . We wanted no security bars so we choose one of the the safest locations on the island. We hated when our friends were stopped at the resort gate and had to wait for us to come out. With a private villa it is easy to arrange for your friends to visit and it doesn't cost you extra to have the ambiance of a private home with the services of a first class resort hotel.
We love the tasty Jamaican food and most of all we love the Jamaican people ... one of the friendliest and most helpful people in the world. Of course this villa is architectural masterpiece. You just have to come and experience the understated elegance for yourself.
